## The Rise of PropTech
PropTech, or property technology, is revolutionizing real estate. Platforms offering fractional ownership, where multiple investors can buy a share of a single property, are democratizing the market. This lowers the barrier to entry and allows for greater portfolio diversification.
### Sustainable Investments
The demand for green buildings is at an all-time high. Properties with high energy efficiency, sustainable materials, and eco-friendly designs are not only attracting premium tenants but also commanding higher resale values. Investing in sustainable real estate is becoming a smart long-term strategy.
### The Appeal of Short-Term Rentals
Platforms like Airbnb have created a dynamic market for short-term rentals. While they require more active management, they can generate higher yields than traditional long-term leases, especially in popular tourist destinations.
* Fractional Ownership: Lower entry point, easier diversification.
* Green Buildings: Higher value, lower operating costs.
* Short-Term Rentals: Higher yields, more active management.
